New plurk for this kind of stuff. Starting with a fresh dye job for my hair! with a close up to see the root color better as well
GAY SHEEP
... my app isn't recognizing the photos existence
GAY SHEEP
https://images.plurk.com/4jFUvvNwfQEevcD2nsrOiT.jpg there we go~
GAY SHEEP
It's basically what I spent most of my afternoon doing. Did I successfully ombre?
GAY SHEEP
Also tomorrow is when our state opens up for the category the rest of the house can vaccinate, so that can finally be scheduled
ɪᴄʜɪ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡɪᴛᴄʜ✨
So long! So pretty!
GAY SHEEP
Thanks~ And yeah, it's definitely getting long. I definitely have been feeling the weight of it
PirateTaiga
awesome colour
GAY SHEEP
ty~ It's using Wella's black cherry for the roots, and Adore's ruby red all over when my hair was still damp, which really saved me money as it only took one bottle to do all that hair
GAY SHEEP
Also, I ordered a bunch of 5qt bins to change up my storage, which is still the cardboard boxes from when I moved 4 years ago
GAY SHEEP
So I've gotta change and move things around, sort and move things around for my magic cards, and find some time again to play my switch.
GAY SHEEP
well, that was a horrifying dream that just reminded me that I'm never coming out to my mother. plus, jumping out of a car and feeling the pain when I wake up is no bueno
GAY SHEEP
Though lbr I decided I was never coming out to most of my family since I was a teenager. Only a small few know
GAY SHEEP
Oh... I took a muscle relaxer, because of all the sharp and tender pains in various spots... And man, that sleepiness hits hard
GAY SHEEP
........ Maybe a very brief nap.
GAY SHEEP
And now today is eye exam day. Time to see how bad they've gotten since the last time (which was longer than it should've been, I admit)
GAY SHEEP
Well, that- That went about as I expected. Confirmed some thoughts I had, but I'm walking out with 3 glasses and a whole debacle with my contacts
GAY SHEEP
tmw you sneeze hard enough to hurt your ribs/diaphragm and get a cramp in the low gut
GAY SHEEP
... Man, you hear how slow SSI/SSDI is, but they were sure damn quick to deny me in this...
shinotenshi22
wait, what?
shinotenshi22
shinotenshi22
-_-
GAY SHEEP
I just got the letter now. Despite saying I can't stay in a chair longer than 3 hours at a time, they said I can adjust to other work.
GAY SHEEP
Well. Now, because I was an idiot that completely spaced on taking the night time dose, I know how much I need it. I haven't had that much trouble sleeping in so long.
GAY SHEEP
It was all tossing and turning in discomfort and pain until I took my morning dose earlier than usual. Then I had some measure of sleep
GAY SHEEP
Also, love getting blindsided by someone who requested lawn care, less than a half hour before said lawn care people show up.
GAY SHEEP
If Lin hadn't mentioned it yesterday, I would've had no idea it was even happening today.
shinotenshi22
Fwiw, he didn't even tell me about it last night. I asked. Because I'd overheard him. >.<
GAY SHEEP
Yeah. He's really bad about this.
shinotenshi22
(do you want me to come sequester Kirby with me?)
GAY SHEEP
(You will probably have to, yeah)
shinotenshi22
(I"m not always so good about it either, but yes)
GAY SHEEP
fell asleep early, woke up overheated, crampy and in so many kinds of discomfort. I'm pretty sure the throat stuff is because I was out in the rain and got soaked a few times, but that also means that my immune system is weak enough to get affected by that?
GAY SHEEP
never know what's a symptom of just because I'm someone that goes through chronic pain
GAY SHEEP
tsk... I can't say it's the weather affecting me right now. there won't be rain for a good few days. I guess a flare up? it's draining more than anything
PirateTaiga
can't it just give you a break :-(
GAY SHEEP
Apparently not, and the dog was making sure I didn't either. Kept barking throughout the morning, and sometimes he moves so his barks go right down the basement
GAY SHEEP
Oh yay... Low grade fever today too
PirateTaiga
oh no...
GAY SHEEP
I'm sticking to the idea/hope that I just managed to catch some dumb cold, even though fevers are uncommon
GAY SHEEP
Today's the day of jumping between 99 to 97.6 in a couple hours. Gonna have to check again later
GAY SHEEP
I'm hoping that I'm on the tail end of whatever's going on with my body. also I'm trying out the next raised dose of my gabapentin this week to see how I do. the effect of missing one night made me realize how much it's doing for me
GAY SHEEP
then maybe I can try tags tomorrow
GAY SHEEP
I'm back to an even 98 which is right about at my usual baseline, so while it could be that is just on the rise again, I'm hoping it stays there instead
nyantōryu
just going through my timeline and found this. honks.
nyantōryu
thats the same denial i got :| definitely appeal it
GAY SHEEP
lmao I'm surprised you found it at all
GAY SHEEP
But eventually I'll get the energy to appeal. If the denials are meant to make people feel defeated, it's worked and with this weird cold thing, or whatever it is, I haven't felt well enough to yell at them about there being no jobs with the qualities I need
nyantōryu
yeah
nyantōryu
i lay in a heap for the full first 30 days of 60
GAY SHEEP
God, I feel doing that. It's part of why I'm trying about a week of the increased gabapentin dose
nyantōryu
legit as hell
GAY SHEEP
Technically I'm not supposed to increase my dose until July, but that's a long way away and I've been living at a 5+ for a good while
GAY SHEEP
5+ with pain, that is
GAY SHEEP
Lots of 7's and some 8s in the past month
GAY SHEEP
Today's, like, the first 4/5 during the day
nyantōryu
July?
nyantōryu
that is an absurdly long time
GAY SHEEP
Right? I was so confused as to why I had to go such a long time
GAY SHEEP
But if the new level I'm trying does pretty well I might... Just ignore that and stick with that for a while
nyantōryu
yeah i was on my starting dose for like. 30 days??
nyantōryu
and six weeks for the second bump i think
GAY SHEEP
And we know it really took that long because they're being careful with drug interactions for you
GAY SHEEP
... And unsurprisingly, my niece that's 3 years older than me is apparently super into MLM stuff. My family is full of idiots
nyantōryu
...
nyantōryu
yeesh
GAY SHEEP
She tried inviting me to a 'shampoo party', which is where she pushes this Monat brand that's 90+ for a shampoo bottle. Which... I obvs ignored
nyantōryu
in... credible
GAY SHEEP
I feel like I should point out, though it's no surprise, that I'm not talked to or invited to anything else
GAY SHEEP
I'm not really eager to get invited to other things either, given how these people are, but y'know
nyantōryu
lmao
nyantōryu
youre only family when they require you for profit
nyantōryu
i feel this
GAY SHEEP
But with some good news, my glasses and trial contacts came in. So now I see in HD again. The drawback is that I can see more detail of the horrible textured ceiling (not the worst drawback to have, at least)
GAY SHEEP
even better, the blue filter set I got (glasses and a clip on for prescription glasses) should show up tomorrow as well
nyantōryu
\o/
GAY SHEEP
Timing really isn't a strong suit in this house... Bry said to head out at about 6 (as we need a new fridge) and now? Bry's losing time caught up in something, and Lin's asleep
nyantōryu
...
nyantōryu
helpless facepalming laughter
GAY SHEEP
We did manage to get out, and have a new fridge coming in on Saturday
GAY SHEEP
Though I admit, after power outages and time, I don't think the patties and pumpkin raviolis you had in the freezer really survived. The raviolis may have, but the patties are deep in burn and stuff
nyantōryu
lmfao welp
nyantōryu
the patties are totally plant based, so feel free to either toss them or huck them in a soup
GAY SHEEP
I wanted to let you know before anything was done. I'll give the raviolis another look as they were deep in the freezer, but you know how door items are
nyantōryu
yeaaaahhhh i do
GAY SHEEP
New fridge~ I magically chose an alarm time that was 15-20 minutes before the thing arrived.
GAY SHEEP
My head and neck hurt, but not as bad as how stiff my leg is. At least I have the satisfaction of things being done, and all the top-of-fridge things are in place as well
nyantōryu
\o/
nyantōryu
hope you can get some rest
GAY SHEEP
We also had our weekly Among Us session, so no nap. I'm substituting with iced coffee and Monster
nyantōryu
oof
GAY SHEEP
I'll just sleep extra hard while I can tomorrow. It'll work out
nyantōryu
...yeah i feel you
GAY SHEEP
I knew you would
GAY SHEEP
We're basically planning and working harder on making things stored better and more accessible for both us and when visitors are a thing again
GAY SHEEP
More hooks, maybe a new shelf so room can be made for the toaster oven, eventually a replaced counter for the island as you... can't replace the drawer without the old drawer that... broke apart
GAY SHEEP
And because it was just a fallen apart mess, it was thrown out. whoops
nyantōryu
whoops
nyantōryu
that whole island has definitely seen better days
GAY SHEEP
It really has, and those days were before I showed up lmao
nyantōryu
lmao they were before I showed up
GAY SHEEP
But we looked at some really nice ones, while seeing that countertops cost as much as the counters
nyantōryu
low whistle
nyantōryu
ikea or other?
nyantōryu
and i wonder if you could just. put your current top on a new cabinet.
nyantōryu
its got like what, one chip in the edge?
GAY SHEEP
Lowes and Home Depot
GAY SHEEP
And it's got some serious staining and stuff, and I don't know how well pressed particle board is with toaster ovens (though I'll find out soon enough)
GAY SHEEP
It's more that there's some really pretty quartz ones that Lin really liked, which would look nice with the replacement counter, when that happens
GAY SHEEP
So, it's less an immediate fix with the countertop so much as a 'this would be nice/ideal'
nyantōryu
ahhhhh i gotcha
nyantōryu
quartz is real good
nyantōryu
you cant use your counter as a cutting board like marble but its more resistant to staining, so...
GAY SHEEP
Yup. Then when we saw some that basically looked like a night sky, it was basically a moment of 'mm yes, that'
nyantōryu
ooooooh
nyantōryu
holy shit yes
GAY SHEEP
basically, we found a cabinet finish and the countertop that would be best if a full kitchen remodel happens
nyantōryu
nice nice nice!!
GAY SHEEP
oh, that was a good conk. almost ten hours straight, barely walking to shift positions. had to get bloody mucus out of my throat after, but that's why I need to make that allergist appointment
nyantōryu
oogh, but good sleep!!
GAY SHEEP
Also, would any of you want Azelastine? It's allergy nasal spray- I've tried using it, but I think it damages my mucus lining or something because when I blow my nose in the morning and night, there'd be blood. So now I have 2 unused and unopened bottles
nyantōryu
Zavy uses that!
GAY SHEEP
Then boy, do I have some spares for him
nyantōryu
\o/
GAY SHEEP
new contacts are officially on their way~ which are stronger than the glasses prescription, but I'll take it. I like being able to see
GAY SHEEP
I'm also starting to realize what the fog really affects. maybe not my short term memory, but it'll have me sorry circuit on things like zip codes, phone numbers and how old I am
GAY SHEEP
I know part of the difficulty with the age thing is that I never really celebrated it most of the time, and I just don't think about it
GAY SHEEP
maybe if I can consistently sleep well, I can remember these things
GAY SHEEP
yesterday? got 8 hours straight. today? I woke up more over that long and don't feel rested at all. I'm only up because my stomach was hungry growling
GAY SHEEP
Also, I swear that showers have been the leading cause of cuts and scrapes all over me, as I discover at least one new one afterwards.
nyantōryu
showers are damage magnets for sure
nyantōryu
and yeah numbers Go for me when im foggy. ive forgotten our apartment number a couple times.
GAY SHEEP
despite using it every week, when the fog hits, I forget the number for our safeway rewards. I blue-screened and had to have Lin do it instead
nyantōryu
oh no
GAY SHEEP
Yeah, that was... a frustrating few days of issues
GAY SHEEP
In good(?) news; I used the shiatsu massager again on my shoulders for 20 minutes, and I think it made some progress on a bunch of knots. It felt like they were going over a dozen ridges in a single pass, but the knots seem smaller now
GAY SHEEP
I feel like a giant bruise on my shoulders and neck, but it's still something, right? oof, I hope I don't literally bruise because of this
nyantōryu
oof
nyantōryu
im glad its working tho!
GAY SHEEP
And now, several hours later, taking the tizanidine for that and other things
GAY SHEEP
fuck, period cravings are hitting me more than they usually do. Maybe because I've been getting cramps on and off for the past 2 months (though maybe that's something else going on idek) but I've ordered ice cream- 3 kinds, I think, along with a package of 3 musketeers bars
GAY SHEEP
I might just order and get boneless ribs and other stuff at the chinese restaurant tomorrow
nyantōryu
riiiiiibs
nyantōryu
thank you for reminding me to put ice cream on the shopping list
GAY SHEEP
Welcome~
GAY SHEEP
And oh, ew. Cramping is particularly bad this time around. It hurts even more being upright
GAY SHEEP
Reminded and inspired to change my profile pic. Maybe name too, in a bit.
GAY SHEEP
Craving for the boneless spare ribs is satiated, and while I'm not full, I'm... very tired. Partially because of muscle relaxants. Given I started to fall sideways in the bathroom earlier, a nap wouldn't be the worst idea
nyantōryu
ah yes the tilties. not fun
nyantōryu
catpuccino is cute
GAY SHEEP
In remembrance of my keychain buddy, who was friends with the other keychain buddy Alpacaccino
GAY SHEEP
And yeah, I'm not used to the tilties like that. But I'm gonna go more than a single day on the muscle relaxer, because the massage area from yesterday still hurts and things are bothering
nyantōryu
hurgh. yep.
nyantōryu
i hope the overall combo of massage and rest helps once youve healed up tho
GAY SHEEP
I hope so too!
GAY SHEEP
maybe if I'm feeling well enough for it, I'll throw up a plurk and ask to start some things. both for Judar and Jisu, mostly to flesh out the latter some more
nyantōryu
nyantōryu
points at eyes points at may. steady weather soon!!
GAY SHEEP
soon~
GAY SHEEP
I love realizing and confirming that the rib pain I get pretty regularly is joint pain https://imgs.plurk.com/QzK/fUS/6hwGJbMsN6a58yq0r7vHX0kjNsS_lg.jpg
GAY SHEEP
How I realized? I forgot the word sternum and had to google 'breastplate bone' because things popped along that area
nyantōryu
...oh.
nyantōryu
this explains things on my end, too
GAY SHEEP
Yup~ I used to be told to stop exaggerating and that it was diaphragm things or something, but this, knowing my conditions, confirms it
GAY SHEEP
Also, apparently getting my shot this Sunday~ first dose Pfizer, at one of the mass vax sites
shinotenshi22
I'm getting mine this monday, same site as Love
GAY SHEEP
So it looks like we'll be fully immunized and such by end of May for visits
nyantōryu
\o/!!
nyantōryu
i wont be vaxxed until early june but!
nyantōryu
er, fully finished i mean
nyantōryu
gonna get my first shot in early may
GAY SHEEP
But if literally everyone else is, and you're the odd one out of a group, I don't think people would mind as... you don't go out.
nyantōryu
GAY SHEEP
It'd be different if it were me or Lin, as we go out and shop for groceries, as opposed to picking up groceries, which is what your house does, and not even what you do.
nyantōryu
i would feel kiiiinda weird coming over if youre gonna have other people over?
nyantōryu
which is dumb bc if they come over they will also be vaxxed...
GAY SHEEP
I wasn't thinking of a huge group, so much as our two houses, tbh. At least for the first time
shinotenshi22
agreed
nyantōryu
it was more like "but i could leave germs in your house" but again, brain, anyone else will have gotten their shots
GAY SHEEP
I honestly don't know plans with other people thus far, but for how busy Sundays are, there's several days for the germs to for out before others show up. and if you're shot is early May, you won't be far behind us
GAY SHEEP
eugh these cramps aren't letting me sleep more than 3 hours at a time
nyantōryu
xc
nyantōryu
the weather is killing me, that plus cramps must be so nasty
GAY SHEEP
The tilties, as you've named them, have been very active. Which I blame the weather, as Lin's getting them a bit too
GAY SHEEP
Also, I tossed the idea of you staying with us for an extended time, now that we have a better idea of when vaccinations will happen, and he's cool with it
GAY SHEEP
He actually indicated that if you just showed up one day, he'd just be 'oh, hey' and not think more on it lmao
nyantōryu
;w;
nyantōryu
thank you guys
GAY SHEEP
The goddamn night before the appointment they rescheduled me. I'm cursed or something
nyantōryu
oh my god??
ɪᴄʜɪ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡɪᴛᴄʜ✨
Oh noooooo
GAY SHEEP
now they say tuesday
GAY SHEEP
holy sudden red splotching on my nose. wow. good thing I got super hydrocortisone
nyantōryu
D8
GAY SHEEP
idek I think, save for the medical flush I've had since that knee shot, they've all faded. maybe a little bit is left on my nose
GAY SHEEP
definitely had to be something I touched. maybe I'll also take a second look at the lotion I used yesterday
GAY SHEEP
Well, if it's the lotion, I definitely have a weird allergy because there's no fragrance in it. (It's also a Murad line, which is generally good for people that aren't allergic to honey and stuff)
GAY SHEEP
ten minutes in this waiting period, as Bry tries to get some work done before the shot, and I already finished the sewing patch job I put together. good thing I brought several things to pass time with
nyantōryu
extended thumb twiddling
GAY SHEEP
it gives me more time to work on replaying breath of the wild, whole I feel like I can hold the switch
GAY SHEEP
providing the sun glare doesn't sabotage me
GAY SHEEP
almost time~ just gotta have Bry come out
GAY SHEEP
shot gotten! just need to wait a ten more minutes and we're good to go
shinotenshi22
Assuming you'll go back to Bry's office? or are you guys heading home?
GAY SHEEP
back to the office for a while longer
GAY SHEEP
catfish for lunch~ I'm happy. a little achey, but that could really be from being in a car for almost 5 hours
shinotenshi22
sympathies, and good for you on the catfish :-D
GAY SHEEP
luckily the car has room for me to stretch in it, when needed.
GAY SHEEP
extra bonus- preferred 2 pieces for catfish, got a third as a surprise
GAY SHEEP
Oh... And there's the headache and joint/muscle pain
GAY SHEEP
I've been hydrating, but I was also tucked into a car for 9 hours and muscle pain usually leads to joint pain and vice versa for me
GAY SHEEP
So, so glad about the Chauvin verdict
nyantōryu
/o/ shotten and fished!!!
nyantōryu
and GOD, SAME, FINALLY
GAY SHEEP
I was super sabotaged by the following day being a rainy day
GAY SHEEP
I joked about the house being more than halfway assimilated in regards to the vaccination. Mostly so I didn't feel repetitive about vaccine and vaccinated. So now I'm removing comments from family members who seriously feel that way and say they're not getting the shot
nyantōryu
god your family is nasty
GAY SHEEP
They really are. I have very few decent ones, but even they can be tone deaf
GAY SHEEP
I've started taking up the tizanidine again, because my left leg (hip to toes) have been in pain since the night after the shot. Which has been helping! I'm about to take the second dose for it
GAY SHEEP
This pain has been keeping me from getting even an hour of sleep, so I should've started the meds that night instead of today
GAY SHEEP
But I've also prepped and gotten things washed or loaded into the dishwasher, so I can put a shelf in the kitchen. Well, if Bry goes to the office tomorrow, I can build and put things together
GAY SHEEP
Shelf built. Things relatively organized enough. Drugs are knocking me back out
shinotenshi22
you are awesome
nyantōryu
you are awesome
GAY SHEEP
noooo u
nyantōryu
u 2
GAY SHEEP
... ok I have one niece that I can call decent. Just because she liked my comment about getting rid of the nasty cousin on that post. She doesn't respond to things most of the time in general, so it's more reaction than I was expecting
nyantōryu
nice
GAY SHEEP
I also think I figured out why I sleep horribly with tizanidine. because when I sleep on my sides normally, I wake up because loose joints and stuff means the ribs start to hurt. relaxed muscles means the ribs probably do weird things faster
GAY SHEEP
realizing this with pain in my ribs still, about to go to bed
nyantōryu
oh no
Leanne No
/hugs carefully
GAY SHEEP
It was definitely better without it! I slept in longer blocks
nyantōryu
oh good!!
Leanne No
\o\
nyantōryu
it's the opposite for me since im made of old rusty springs
GAY SHEEP
opposite but so many similar aches and pains lmao
nyantōryu
lmao for real. sad fistbump. your knuckles cave sideways mine creak and get stuck
GAY SHEEP
the saddest of fistbumps
GAY SHEEP
I really need my ribs to knock it off with the pain, too. I'm glad that I managed to meet a few people with hypermobility before I ever realized what it was too see if they get similar issues as I don't know if it's just that or the connective tissue disorder
nyantōryu
i thought those were the same issue?
GAY SHEEP
connective tissue disorder is similar to rheumatoid arthritis ms and lupus. hypermobility is kinda like... something collagen related that causes elasticity instead
GAY SHEEP
both affect the joints though... just in different ways
nyantōryu
oh heck, I didn't realize you had an autoimmune disorder in addition to the collagen fuckery
nyantōryu
jeez
GAY SHEEP
and the fibro hoedown! I'm a basket of fun
nyantōryu
jazz hands
GAY SHEEP
I'm sure there'll be more developments and adjustments to the diagnosis the next time I go there, just because there was a 6 month gap between appointments (Which I'm definitely going to ask about Lyrica/Savella or something to add to my meds as I obviously need something more)
GAY SHEEP
six straight hours of sleep, holy shit it's been so long
nyantōryu
yesssss I'm so glad!!
GAY SHEEP
now for the body to go 'now let's do that again because I'm tired' as the rest of me already is
